EchoStor Technologies Named to CRN's Inaugural 2026 AI Innovators List

NORWOOD, Mass., November 12, 2026 — EchoStor Technologies, one of the Northeast's fastest-growing premier leaders in IT solutions and services, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named the company to its 2026 AI Innovators list.

Now in its first year, the CRN AI Innovators list honors North American solution providers, including MSPs, VARs, systems integrators and consultants, that stand out for excellence and technical skill in delivering AI-focused solutions to their customers. Honorees were selected by a panel of CRN editors for building creative AI solutions that bring real business value, from better customer experiences and employee productivity to sharper decision-making and new avenues for growth.

For EchoStor, the recognition reflects a deliberate investment in its AI & Data Services practice. The company has built out a dedicated AI go-to-market strategy and paired it with the engineering talent and partner ecosystem needed to move clients from pilots to production, grounded in the secure, modern infrastructure that AI depends on.

"Every client we talk to wants to know how AI can make a real difference in their business, not just in a demo," said Thom Serra, Executive Vice President of Specialty Sales at EchoStor. "Our job is to close that gap. We bring together the right data foundation, the right security posture and the right technology partners so customers can put AI to work with confidence. Being named one of CRN's first AI Innovators tells us that approach is resonating, and it's a credit to the specialists across our team who make it happen every day."
